Herald of Yesteryear: February 22, 1963

A track and field team for both boys and girls is being planned at Carver-Smith High School, it was learned from Coach Tom Robinson.

Coach Robinson said that the teams would compete in the Middle Tennessee Athletic Association track meet on April 13th and that plans were being made for other meets.

In order to raise money to equip a track team, a “rock and roll” jamboree headlining recording start Carla Thomas has been slated for a benefit appearance in the Carver-Smith gym on Wednesday, March 6.

Feature bands from Nashville will include the Imperials and the King Casuals and recording vocalists Sam Beker and Harry Batsler. Also on hand will be four more vocal groups including the Vendors, Litterbugs, Continentials, and the Neptunes.

Nation-wide recording artist Joe Henderson and Jackie Shane may appear at the event if they are back from tours, it was stated in the release.

The public is invited to the 8 p.m. show. Proceeds will be used for spring physical education equipment as well as the track and field teams.
